A new era of fertility care: why Scotland needs a more personalised model - and why now.

With 1 in 6 couples across the UK facing fertility challenges, reproductive health is no longer a niche medical concern, it is a public health priority.

As demand grows and patient needs evolve, the question is whether current models of care are keeping pace with modern life.

From the shift toward proactive fertility planning and preservation, to the need for more personalised, evidence-based pathways, fertility care is changing, and healthcare must evolve with it.

In a new thought leadership article, Dr Karolina Skorupskaite Carlyle explores why Scotland has an opportunity to help shape a more human-first model of reproductive healthcare, where scientific excellence and compassionate care go hand in hand.

Recently, Genus Medical Fertility founder Dr Karolina Skorupskaite Carlyle had the pleasure of speaking at SHREG 2026 - the Meeting of the Scottish Human Reproduction and Embryology Group in Dundee.

Speaking on evidence based management of patients with endometriosis undergoing assisted conception, it was fantastic to see so many colleagues from across the field, alongside inspiring new scientists sharing their work and ideas.

Thank you to the SHREG team for organising such a valuable event!

Edinburgh plays a very important role in the story of Genus Medical Fertility.

Born in Lithuania, Dr Karolina Skorupskaite Carlyle relocated to the UK for her studies and training, with Edinburgh becoming her home. It is where she completed her training, built her career, and where her family is based today.

This personal connection has helped shape Genus Medical Fertility. A clinic built here in Edinburgh, combining advanced reproductive science with a more human, supportive approach to care.

As we prepare to open our new purpose-built centre of excellence for reproductive care, we’re proud to be growing something so closely tied to the place it all began.

More behind the scenes coming soon. Visit genusfertility.co.uk to get in touch.

Endometriosis can affect everyone differently.

For some, it’s about managing symptoms like pain, heavy bleeding and fatigue. For others, it can raise questions about fertility and future plans.

There’s no single pathway, and that’s why a personalised approach matters.

At Genus Medical Fertility, time is taken to understand symptoms, goals, and what feels right for each individual, whether that’s symptom management, planning ahead, or exploring options like fertility preservation.

With our new clinic opening soon, we’re already supporting patients and starting these conversations now.

If you’d like to speak to someone, you can get in touch via our website. Visit genusfertility.co.uk today.

Meet Jocelyn Proctor, Fertility Counsellor at Genus Medical Fertility.

“Fertility challenges can touch every part of a person’s identity - it is not just a medical journey, but an emotional one. My role is to help patients feel understood and supported, finding clarity and resilience as they navigate one of life’s most uncertain experiences.”

Jocelyn is an integrative fertility specialist with a background in counselling, psychotherapy and nutritional therapy. She holds a Master’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Edinburgh and is an accredited member of BICA.

Her work focuses on supporting the emotional and psychological aspects of fertility, including assisted conception and donor pathways.

At Genus Medical Fertility, she offers a supportive, non-judgemental space to help patients navigate their journey.

We’re pleased to be attending SHREG 2026 - the Meeting of the Scottish Human Reproduction and Embryology Group, taking place in Dundee on 15 - 16 May.

Scotland’s very own fertility meeting brings together leading national and international experts in reproductive medicine and embryology for two days of discussion, learning and collaboration.

On Saturday 16th May, Dr Karolina Skorupskaite Carlyle will be speaking on the BFS Endometriosis Guideline as part of the programme.

We’re very much looking forward to being part of the event and engaging with colleagues across the field. We’ll share more from the meeting afterwards.

For International Nurses Day, we’re shining a spotlight on Riikka Kirk, Nurse Manager at Genus Medical Fertility, and celebrating the important role nurses play in supporting patients through every stage of their journey.

Originally trained in Finland, she has worked across the UK and internationally in surgical wards, fertility services and women’s health, and has held senior nursing and leadership roles throughout her career.

She has extensive experience in fertility care pathways, surrogacy support, and leading clinical teams within reproductive health services.

Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week shines a light on the emotional wellbeing of women and families before, during and after pregnancy. 💛

This important week is dedicated to raising awareness, changing attitudes, and helping more people access the care, support and information they need.

At Genus Medical Fertility, we understand that the path to parenthood can bring many emotions, and mental health matters at every stage of the journey. You are never alone, and support is always available.

Meet Tessa McGurk, Operations Manager at Genus Medical Fertility.

Tessa brings over 20 years of experience from the hospitality industry, where she worked in both frontline and operational roles. In fast-paced, high-pressure environments, she developed exceptional communication and customer care skills.

These skills now play a vital role within the clinic, where creating a calm, supportive environment and ensuring a seamless patient experience are key. From managing patient flow to coordinating closely with the clinical team, Tessa helps ensure that every step of the journey runs smoothly.

Tessa previously spent five years with NHS Lothian fertility services, and it was here that she discovered a passion for fertility care and supporting people on their path to building a family. In her words: “What’s exciting about Genus Medical Fertility is that we have the ability to adapt. By listening to our patients, we can provide them with options to help them make an informed choice about what treatment is right for them.”
